025: The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)

Title: The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Rosario Dawson, Randy Quaid
Directed By: Ron Underwood

The biggest problem with The Adventures of Pluto Nash is that it suffers from an identity crisis. What kind of movie is this supposed to be? It's not funny enough to be a comedy. There isn't enough action to consider it an action movie. And sci-fi enthusiasts would balk at this monstrosity if you dare to call it sci-fi.

So what is it? It's bad. Really, just horribly bad. The jokes fall flat, the action beats are boring, the characters are stupid and cartoonish. It's just an incredibly inept film all around.

The only credit that's due here, is in the production design. The film is one set piece after another, and that's no easy feat. But other than that: the dialogue is terrible, the performances are wooden, and the direction is amateurish.

I'll assume you already have, but just in case, avoid this movie.

Score: 2/10
